In the States, you would hear "He is Russian-American". Danish & Polish are more common, unless referring to the place they live, are visiting from, etc.

PhilipDanish & Polish are more common, unless referring to the place they live, are visiting from, etc.Not sure if I can easily tell one "scenario" (= the nouns should be used) from the other (= use the adj)...
Could you please give me an example (specific context) where I am a Pole/Dane works better than I am Polish/Danish?
